Sharing with your study group
If you’re buying one supply for a study group or several study breaks, clear information about pack weight and portions is especially useful. For example, Jumbo lists 12 portions in a 468 g bag.
Which size works best for you?
Taking them in a lunchbox or bag
If you want to take a portion with you without putting an opened large bag in your bag, look for twin packs or other individually portioned options. PLUS lists a Daelmans Duopack.
Planning smaller breaks
Mini stroopwafels can be handy for preparing small portions or sharing a plate. Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g for one mini variety; you can decide how many to have per break.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you’ll be sharing the stroopwafels at home or taking them with you. Then check the portion size and the label of the variety you actually want to buy.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing a supply | Check the net weight and stated number of portions; Jumbo lists 468 g and 12 portions, while PLUS lists a 480 g pack. | When I’m studying with others, I want to put out enough stroopwafels and know in advance how we’ll share them. Around 29% of consumers put having a supply to share first. |
| Taking them with you | Check whether the waffles are packed in pairs or individually, and how many of these units are in the pack. | For a lunchbox, I want to take a set portion for a break without opening a large bag; this is the main consideration for around 36% of consumers. |
| Small portions | Compare the number of minis with the portion size in grams; Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g for one mini variety. | During a long study session, I’d rather spread small amounts across my breaks. This is the top priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Label and nutritional information | Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the pack you choose. | When ingredients or allergens affect my choice, I want to be able to check the exact variety; around 14% of consumers give this the highest priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Counting only the waffles
The number of pieces doesn’t tell you how large the waffles are or how the pack is divided. Kanjers, for example, lists a pack of 4 × 2 pieces, while Jumbo lists 12 portions in a 468 g bag.
Compare the net weight and stated portions with how you plan to use them: sharing them or taking portions with you.
-
Assuming minis will automatically keep portions small
It’s easy to have several mini stroopwafels one after another from a bag. So the size of one waffle doesn’t tell you much about how much you’ll eat during a break.
Set aside the number you want in advance and use the portion size on the pack to check the nutritional information.
-
Relying on the brand name for ingredient information
Ingredients and allergens vary between varieties. Albert Heijn describes AH Terra Plantaardig Stroopwafels as vegan, but lists wheat and soya and warns that the product may contain milk and lactose.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack you choose.
